    In my opinion Mrs. Quindlen,your point of view, the way you see how 9/11 is bifurcated tells me you’re someone who is able to view certain things differently. You gave a great example of it, how September 11 is your son’s birthday and 9-11 is the day America was hurt both physically and mentally but also brought us to our senses to never let our guards down again. Many people responded to 9-11 severely because the attack still continues to affect the health and well-being of victims’ families and friends, survivors, rescue and recovery workers health. Personally the situation now as us Americans look back is a day that changed our lives. Especially those who lived through it, having to remember the tragic day vividly.…

    The idea of a narrative is to tell a story, the events occurring on the day of September 11, 2001 will provide an opportunity to relay my feelings, moving beyond the initial pure and basic anger at those responsible for such a desperate act. The image shows two emergency responders in the cloud of debris left by the collapse of the Trade Centers and what drew me to this picture is what they must have been talking about. The questions and issues I initially considered included: the loss of life; the tremendous devastation; and are there more survivors, where these possibilities could only be confirmed by talking to the individuals in the picture.
